The only reason I have ever disliked Verizon was the fact that you had to sign up for a contract regardless. I was given a Palm Treo 700w back before it was even launched. That seems like ages ago now, but it was a big moment for Palm and Windows Mobile. Anyhow, the Palm Treo 700w Microsoft provided me with had no service. Without signing up for a contract, I was unable to get Verizon to activate this phone. I ended up signing a 1 year contract to use this phone. I ended up using it for only 2 weeks too.

Well, if the tipster that reported to BGR that Verizon is going to allow month to month customers starting September 21st is right on the money, then it changes everything. Maybe a little late for my case, but it’s good to know that what other carriers do affect companies decisions.

Here is a list of details about the upcoming offer:

• Available to Consumer, Corporate Liable, and Employee Liable customers (excludes Federal Government customers)
• Any current voice &/or data calling plan and equipment available
• Customer credit checks apply.
• Device Initiation Fee and/or Activation Fee must be charged (no exceptions)
• MTM customers are eligible to accept any applicable promotional offering but must agree with the contract term associated with the offer (i.e. they will no longer be a MTM customer)
• Customers are not eligible for equipment discounts if they do not agree to a one or two-year minimum term
• Corporate and employee liable customers are eligible to receive accessory discounts on month to month agreements
• MTM customers can terminate their service at any time (effective on their next bill cycle date) without incurring an early termination fee
• New Customers: Use Month to Month as the contract term
• Existing Customers: Use Upgrade Reason Code UN only
